I drove one once. Worst car ever. Ok it was pretty tired and ropey but the gearbox was next to useless, it wouldn't start unless you hit the starter with a hammer, the brake pedal almost went to the floor and within eight miles the oil light had come on where it needed a top-up. The only car I've ever driven that genuinely scared me.... but not in a good way.
I only drove the damn thing as a favour to a friend.

Just did that, pretty much running at the limit now - 1.2 bar on a big turbo 3.0 litre. Any more power will need a re-engineering of the turbo system which will be very expensive. I'm very happy with how she goes at the minute

I'm a die hard Marvel man I'm afraid.
I'm going to go with one of the nearly black metallics i.e Nocturne, Pirates Black, Morocco Red. tring to find cars to check out as difficult to make a decision from photos

near streatham hill, if you go along there and ask to look at the glasurit colour chip samples you will see every colour on the planet. pick 4 or 5 and from those pick the one you like best and write down the code in the back then i can get it mixed up in halifax.
